Response

The submitter is not required to use claim level adjustment segment (2320 CAS) if all adjustment amounts are reported on the line level (2430 CAS).

The submitter is required to send a claim level adjustment segment if the payer identified in the loop has applied a claim level adjustment. It is also required that for each payer the payer payment amount equals the sum of all line level payments minus all claim level (2320 loop) adjustments. See section 1.4.4 for information on balancing claims using adjustments.
